A New Word?

I believe that I have just invented a useful new word. (At least this will be the first instance of it in these internets.) What it thrill it will be to press "publish." Ready, set, go!

Fauxlloquial

adjective

1. Appearing to be informal while holding a serious amount of power over the circumstances of the people in your audience.

2. Giving the appearance of being "just folks" and accessible when you are neither.

Example:
The governor of Illinois "dropping'" the final "g" while he is formally screwing the residents and public institutions of his state.
